We love greyhounds. Love love love em. That’s why we’re so excited to have the amazing folks from Greyhound Friends into Grand and Poor Little Rich Girl.

Greyhound Friends will set up in our store on Saturday, October 23rd, from 12:00-3:00. For reals! Learn about greyhounds in general, greyhound adoption, and Greyhound Friends! And we’re not taking responsibility if their cuteness makes you want to adopt a greyhound. So c’mon down and hang out with some super cute greyhounds and do some shopping at Grand and get ready for the fall and Halloween @ Poor Little Rich Girl. See more info here.

And that’s not all that’s happening this weekend! We’re excited to be a part of Somerstreets this Sunday, October 24th from 12:00-4:00. Somerville Ave is going to be closed from Bow St to Beacon St and lined with pumpkins for a costume parade and all kinds of awesome Halloween activities. We’ll be handing out candy so bring yourself, your kids, or your dog, and stop in for a treat!

And if that’s not enough excitement, we’re also participating in Fall Boutique Week! Which means that from October 24-31, you can get 25% OFF your purchase by mentioning the Boutique Week promo code, BW1009.
